New York Cookie Monster arrested

Last summer, there was the sad case of Central Park's Jew-hating Elmo (who, by the way, is named Adam Sandler). Two months ago, a man dressed as Spider-Man in Times Square claimed to be the victim of a vicious snowball attack from a stingy mom. Monday morning, the streak continued when a man in a Cookie Monster suit was arrested for allegedly shoving a two-year-old boy.

The shoving reportedly occurred after the two-year-old boy's mother refused to pay the Monster two dollars after her family posed with him. Cookie Monster (real name: Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez) allegedly became enraged and began cursing at the mother. After he was finished yelling, Quiroz-Lopez shoved the two year old, according to the mother.
